Error from provider (Console): OpenCode's free tier can only be used from within OpenCode #49925
Description
On version v1.18.31 for windows Desktop App (x64) every message get this error. Things that i already tried:
1.Editing the json file or creating one in the workfolder
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"compaction": {
"auto": false
}
}
2.Tried to downgrade OpenCode to version 1.18.28 but failed because i think it auto updated
Not using any plugins or changed any files
Sorry for creating a duplicated issue and i know that you guys been "tightening our logic to fight abuse" maybe an account login system would fix that?

Launch :
Then install opencode 1.18.28
Then add autoupdate false in your global opencode config

i think i finally figure it out.( thanks to ChatGPT )
-shutdown OpenCode
-delete any .json file you created
-go to %USERPROFILE%.config\opencode\ and cut the opencode.jsonc somewhere else then put the file back
-create an empty folder
-open OpenCode and start a new session with the new empty folder you created
-on plan mode type anything and it should work
other sessions are also working (for me) which is very nice because i was in the middle of something.
i would suggest everyone to stop the auto updates by using the JayPe69 method
-shutdown OpenCode
-go to %USERPROFILE%.config\opencode\ and open the opencode.jsonc with a text editor (Notepad++ ) and do this
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"autoupdate": false
}
save it and if current version stops working or you enconter a bug you can just return it to original version and update OpenCode

tried this, still doesnt work
doesitmaterter commentedon Oct 18, 2026
do you have a modified json file if you do change it's name and re-try it . opencode doesn't like some of the commands.

in the user configfolder, there is opencode.jsonc file , i tried renamig, changing locatgion putting back, it doesnt work, it runs the model once in a while but after that it goes to error everywhere

let's try one more thing and if that doesn't fix it you should open up a new issue or ask someone else maybe ai.
-shutdown opencode
-open the opencode.jsonc file
-Copy the contents of the file into a text file as a backup, then
-paste this, save it, and try again.
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json"
}
